Health Access is happy to announce that we have been awarded $28,000 of NIP credits through the West Virginia Neighborhood Investment Program

Over the past few years Health Access has been a proud participant in the Neighborhood Investment Program and we’re excited to have the opportunity to participate once again. The West Virginia Neighborhood Investment Program helps support nonprofit charitable organizations by providing tax credits as an incentive to stimulate and increase donations from the community to qualifying 501 (C)3 nonprofit organizations. Tax credits help to reduce the amount of taxes a donor pays by offsetting the actual taxes owed in contrast to deductions which merely reduce the donor’s taxable income. Generally, a tax credit is worth substantially more than a tax donation.

You can receive a WV Tax Credit equal to HALF of your gift of $500 or more.

That means as a donor you can double your gift without incurring any additional cost. These credits directly reduce the amount of your WV taxes and are available to both individuals and businesses in West Virginia. Since we have a limited amount of credits to use, they will be distributed on a first-come basis to qualifying donations.

Here is an example of how an NIP credit works.

Donation to Health Access: $500 $1000 $1500 $2000

Amount of NIP Credit: $250 $500 $750 $1000

If you have questions, please contact Jim Harris by phone at (304) 622-2708 or email at Jharris@healthaccessinc.org

Thank you for your considered support of Health Access Free and Charitable Clinic.

Flu is preventable and so is Colon Cancer! For the second year in a row, Health Access will be combining its seasonal flu clinic with an opportunity to also have a free colorectal cancer screening test. The home stool test also known as a Fecal Immunochemical Test or FIT test is easy to do and requires only two stool samples with no changes to medications or diet. The test works by detecting the minutest traces of blood in the stool that might not otherwise be visible to the naked eye. Detecting blood in the stool is critical for early detection of cancer which can lead to a quicker diagnosis and a better outcome.

As was the case with one of our patients last year, it might just save your life.

Flu shots will be available to any uninsured, Health Access patient. While the colorectal cancer screening will only be offered to any patient who is:

Uninsured or Underinsured (Medicaid)

Has not had a colonoscopy in the past 10 years

Has not had a FIT/FOBT test this year

Just like the FLU colon cancer is PREVENTABLE, TREATABLE, and BEATABLE when found EARLY! Call the clinic today and get scheduled for your FLU Shot and FIT test! You can also fill out the form below and someone from our clinic will contact you.

Modern medicine creates mountains of data and Health Access is now in a better position to use that data thanks to an $1800 donation by Interim Healthcare that will put two new iPads in the hands of doctors who treat low income uninsured and under-insured adults at Health Access.

In recent years iPads have become quite invaluable tools in the medical field as they help doctors take that mountain of data and use it more efficiently and less intrusively to care for the patients they see. Some of the benefits of using iPads over laptops or more stationary PCs include:

Up to Date Medical Apps and Educational Resources

Better Communication Between Patients and Providers

Faster Access to Electronic Medical Records

Better Diagnostic Tools

Better Patient Experience with Less Distractions

Increased Portability

Thanks again to Jessica Morris and all of the wonderful folks at Interim Healthcare who helped put this life saving technology in the hands of our providers.
